Voxengo CRTIV Tape Bus
Slick GUI, variety of settings, great sound, competitive price. I honestly couldn't have asked for more. Here's a quick review.
- What I like:
All Voxengo plugins have signature GUI which is very convenient and modern-looking, plus it allows me to quickly and easily find and adjust settings on different Voxengo plugins without the need to readapt to another GUI. I consider it a huge advantage over many other developers who simply copy hardware interface with rust and screws and all, without adapting it to "modern world".
Sound-wise it's also great and flexible, nothing to add here.
- What I'd add to this plugin:
Visual representation of tape EQs which are available in this plugin. It can be like a floating window when you scroll between impulse modes, just to get a basic idea of what different modes do (I know it's displayed in the manual, but it would still be a nice addition, I think).
Dear Voxengo guys,
Thank you , thank you, thank you! I just want to express my appreciation for your outstanding products. There is nothing on the plug-in market even close to the quality you offer. I have bought seven of your plug-ins and I'm using them in all my productions from now on. They are just amazing, period.
If you could come up with a vocal tuner as well, I'd buy it faster than lightning.
Many tanks and best wishes to all of you guys! Kind regards
It's pretty simple why Voxengo plugins are so good - Alexsey has a better ear compared to other developers.
His plugins sound so 'musical'. I've used many other plugins that technically perform their designed function, yet somehow just don't sound good.
I now have a whole set of expensive plugins that are just taking up drive space. They simply don't sound as good as thier Voxengo counterparts.
